Dak Prescott wasn't the problem against the Houston Texans

Some day, historians are going to look at the Week 5 loss that the Dallas Cowboys sustained against the Houston Texans and think that Dak Prescott played a bad game. The evidence is there. The Cowboys scored only 16 points. Prescott threw two interceptions and gained only 208 yards through the air. His quarterback rating was 66.4. Based on his poor play in the four weeks prior, it wouldn't be a stretch to just tack one extra bad game onto his ledger. And that is a shame, because for once, Prescott was not remotely the problem against the Texans.

Those two interceptions Prescott threw? Both tipped... by his own receivers. Granted, they weren't perfect throws, but most throws aren't. It is reasonable for a quarterback to expect his receivers to be able to, you know, stretch. Prescott didn't throw those balls 10 yards over their heads. He missed slightly. But when you miss at all with this group of Cowboys receivers, you miss entirely.

Speaking of missing, Prescott made the Texans do quite a bit of that. He was pressured relentlessly in this game, but he was sacked only twice. He escaped perhaps half a dozen sacks based on nothing more than body control and athleticism.

Respectfully understood. Many feel like you. Dak is not going anywhere. I'm sure you understand this. So what are you going to do?

Dak may not be going anywhere this season, but if he doesn't perform better (he IS part of the problem) you can bet we either draft his replacement or sign a QB that can come in and compete.

 

[Sinister]

It's not only that they are poor receiver it's that they are not playmakers.

This offense needs a couple more playmakers on offense.

 

[HowardC]

He was definitely part of the problem. That throw was high on the int.

If he doesn't perform better? Did you watch tonight's game? Dak kept this Offense alive and gave them a chance. Everyone else failed badly. No one else on offense stepped up.

Slightly above head level. Within the reach of both arms. Hit the receiver squarely in both hands.

Yeah, I guess Dak needs to catch his own passes as well.

For starters do you recall how long it took Jerry to FINALLY draft a qb? Years! That will be far from his mind. Secondly, there won't be any decent QB's in the upcoming draft anyway. And thirdly, what other QB's, in the veteran dept. are available?

Dak was a machine in his rookie season due to Romo and Sanchez on the sidelines and Sanchez being his mentor. He's a mess now because Moore is his qb coach. Again, toss the blame on the front office. This fall's back on the coaching yet once again.

Dak was an inaccurate mess, you are in denial or trolling at this point. I can't believe that you're actually serious.

He was rattled early, was sailing balls, and not picking up blitzes. He was awful.

That's what I've done. I couldn't take it anymore.

On a better note, those SB champs dont look Super anymore!

1. We didn't draft a QB for a long time because we had Romo for 10 seasons.

2. Where are you getting there won't be any decent QBs? There are a few QBs rising up the draft board, like every year

3. I'm talking about this off-season. I have no idea who will be available, we'll see when that time comes.

Dak's rookie season is irrelevant now. I don't care about it, stop bringing it up - it's 2018, he looks like crap. Either discuss this season or don't waste my time.

No, you're just complaining as usual. The Cowboys have made it clear that Dak is not the problem. He's here to stay. Based on that fact which we all know now, constant complaints to the contrary by posters like yourself actually make that trolling.

And then what? You going to hate on that person too because they cannot run Garrett's pathetic system?

LOL I don't care what "the cowboys" have said, whatever that means.

> He's here to stay

You get contract negotiations will be starting next year, right? How much you paying this QB who has a middling QBR and missing playoffs?

You going to give him a big contract? Really? A guy who still doesn't have his footwork and mechanics down? LOL Bud, if he doesn't improve he is gone. If we bring in a new coach and that coach isn't happy with Dak, the plug will be pulled - Jerry doesn't have much time left on this Earth to wait around for some scrub trailer park QB to finally learn how to set his freakin' feet.

She is discussing this season. Please be respectful.

....why do you guys do this? Wanting Dak gone =/= wanting Garrett to stay.

You want to discuss that? Go to a thread about Garrett. This is about Dak.

I see other WRs on every other team catch those same balls every Sun and yes even on Sat in college and in HS on Friday nights. Those are routine catches, everywhere but here, where if it ain't between the numbers it ain't catchable.
